BeatStream アニムトライヴ

Release Information

General Information / Changes

During the location test, BeatStream アニムトライヴ was known as BeatStream2.

Difficulty ratings now go on a scale from 1 to 神 (kami), the latter used for only used for only one song on the final release of the game.

Charts rated 9 and 10 now have - and + difficulties as well.

Partner (アイボウ, aibou) feature was added to the customize menu on April 26th, 2016, allowing players to choose a character to appear on the SCENE and TOTAL RESULT screens.

Note judgments (named Hantei Text in the customize menu) are now in Japanese, although they can be changed back:

Fantastic→サイコー (saikou)

Great→ヨッシャー (yossha)

Fine→オシイ (oshii)

Miss→スカッ (suka~)

The Fine tap note judgment sound was changed.

Stream Notes no longer originate from corners of the screen, new charts have them appearing from anywhere on the screen instead.

Judgement lines now flash when the notes are approaching.

HIGH TENSION added for some of the songs, with some special effects during gameplay.

Notes Speed settings can be changed at any time on the music selection screen or during gameplay, and they can be locked by holding the lock button on the top when the modification is unnecessary.

Variety music category added.

The timing bar has been moved to the left side of the screen, similar to beatmania IIDX. However, in this game is moving upward with floating Nyan on the water from underneath. While beatmania IIDX is moving downward from above.

AAA rank now comes in two different colors: 950,000-969,999 is golden, 970,000+ is red.

eAMUSEMENT service for BeatStream アニムトライヴ was discontinued on September 1st, 2017.

Conversion kits to change BeatStream to ノスタルジア are offered beginning in March 2017, making February 28th, 2017 the last "official" day for the BeatStream series.

Unlike other games that have been discontinued, such as DanceEvolution ARCADE and ミライダガッキ FutureTomTom, BeatStream アニムトライヴ did not receive an offline patch, making BeatStream impossible to play in any official form.

The official website's eAMUSEMENT results and records can no longer be viewed from September 29th, 2017, and the song list only displays videos.

Tutorial and character sections were removed in March 2019; they now simply redirect you to the main page.

Campaign Unlockable Songs

At the end of your credit, a list with songs from the most recent campaign is shown. By selecting one of them, that song will be automatically unlocked for your next credit. Do note that only LIGHT/MEDIUM/BEAST difficulties will be unlocked; NIGHTMARE charts must be unlocked via BEAST HACKER.

Also, although the most recent campaign is shown by default, you can select older campaigns with songs that still have not been unlocked by touching the arrow at the end of the list.

FLOOR INFECTION

By playing SOUND VOLTEX III GRAVITY WARS, the player will raise the infection level and unlock the following songs from the SOUND VOLTEX series during the respective periods. For more information on the event, see its own page.

COURSE MODE

COURSE MODE returned from the first BeatStream on June 9th, 2016. This time, all of the COURSES have fixed difficulties, and work in a similar way to beatmania IIDX's Dan inintei and SOUND VOLTEX's SKILL ANALYZER systems. After clearing a COURSE (denominated RANK), players will obtain a Rank Neko (ランクネコ), which is a symbol with different colors depending on the highest RANK course cleared (besides obtaining a Rank Neko, clearing RANKs will not provide an additional benefit to the player, though).

After RANK09, players have to clear the previous RANK course in order to play the next one.
